Wow ... better bottom-post here, hi

If viewing in winblows, how bout using a screen grabber
which saves the desktop image as a jpeg, then edit it
down in an editor? You may lose a bit of detail this way.
I am a fan of SnagIt, which works well for me. Then the
image editor let you remove the edge detail.

This is a crowbar-in-the door approach, I guess.
